Pinstripe Red Ale

Pinstripe Red Ale

Tonight's sampling is another from a mixed six-pack of Red and Amber Ales I purchased at the World Market a few weeks ago. This is SKA Brewing Company's Pinstripe Red Ale. On a quick trip to their website, I couldn't find any technical details about this beer, and the bottle label doesn't contain much information either. This beer is heavy on the malt and low on the hops, which is characteristic of this style. As described by the website, it does have a fruity and smooth finish. This beer is one of those excellent summertime thirst quenching brews that isn't too heavy to enjoy over the course of an afternoon at the pool or on the lake.

Welcome to Brews and Blues, my new website/blog that will chronicle my experiences in home brewing, beer drinking, smokin' blues music, and whatever else may be associated with the fine art of beer in general. After a long departure from the hobby of home brewing, I'm ready to get started once again. Unfortunately, I saved very little of my equipment, so I'm starting from ground zero. In the next couple weeks I'll be ordering the hardware I need to get back in the saddle and, with any luck, I'll brew my first batch of beer sometime in January.

This blog will contain information related to home brewing, but it will also have commentary on all things beer, as well as some discussion of some smokin' blues music...

Thanks for stopping by :)
